As a graduate of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (2012-2015), there has been a lot to process the past few months. Learning about the Shawn Bolz cover up, the misrepresentation of Ben Armstrong’s abuses, the constant re-platforming and promotion of known and alleged frauds and predators, and Bill Johnson’s particular complicity. . .has been …

Divorce, Death & Expulsion (Personal Update)
I have been sort of missing in action the past year, and thought it would be worth explaining as I start to get back into the swing of things. When I started back up blogging and podcasting in 2023 I was in the midst of a perhaps naively optimistic battle for my then-marriage. I was …

Should Apostles & Prophets Govern the Modern Church? (“Informed Consent” for Charismatic Christians)
Previously I shared from the research of John Collins (author of “Weaponized Religion”), whose website exposes credible allegations of fraud and misconduct by numerous charismatic and Pentecostal figures from the past hundred and fifty years. Now I’ll offer something a bit more practical: doctrines perpetuated by these individuals, the risks inherent, and alternative interpretations of …
What the Bible Says about the Man vs. Bear Debate

Fraudulent Revival History? Why Charismatics Need to Study John Collins’ Work
[First published in The Christian Post] I became interested in potentially misleading accounts of 20th Century revival history when I studied allegations of misconduct against Mike Bickle, the once revered leader of the International House of Prayer. Not only have allegations surfaced regarding predatory behavior, but manipulation using the famous “prophetic history “ and “revival …

The Gospel of the Serpent – Bethel Teachings Gone Wrong (demonic? yes. intentional? no! Insights of a former student)
This is not a hit piece, but “the wounds of a friend.” Nobody from Bethel wants to insult “Papa” Bill and Kris, or the optimistic culture, but my reluctance combined with alarm are probable qualifications to do so. As of now, I don’t believe Bethel teaches “The Gospel of the Serpent” intentionally, but rather that …
Ep. 11: Can we Find Gold in the Occult?🤔(Correcting Charismania from Within/The Gospel of Nehushtan)
This has been on my heart for years now. It’s so upsetting to see people who are trying to get close to God become distracted and misled by demonic practices, demonic doctrines, and ultimately get off-track. I’ve seen so much of this now, I finally decided to break my silence and clarify what I think …
What is Christianity? Are you a Christian, or a New Ager? (Rebuild the walls!)
If we don’t define the faith, and the Jesus we serve, how can anyone be saved? My Granny was a Baptist deaconess, my mom’s side full of witchcraft and new age. I see so much of the struggle and confusion I faced reflected in the wavering of the modern church. Do you ever feel confused …
